My Head Space

[Ponder]

That's not hard - if you beleive we go on after death, then there is no need to fear death. Only the pain of dying I guess. Nothing is just as good for me. Who wants to live more than one life on this plane of existence?

Yea ... checked out the preview:



I am very critical of today's sic-fi action packed sex orgies these days. I will give it a try to see if there is a hint of story that can keep my attention amoungst all that hyped up drama. The worldly scenes look cool ... don't mind the art. Just get annoyed with the stereotypical drama that so easy to read. (sex and violence ZZZzzzzzzzz) I don't think its really being critical as much as simply a case of age and already seeing so much of the same rehash. Takes something original or at least a good twist without all that atypical nonsense of how humans are imprinted to react.

BUT D ... the fact you like it gives me hope. I will check out later today if its in our Australian Netflix list.

Thanks for the steer. I've kind of run out of things to watch on netflix of late. Me and a few others have been discussing our dislike for how long we are left between seasons. Some of us would much rather they release them one episode at a time with only a brief break before the next season ... not a fucking whole year. Some of us also have to rewatch a season to make sense of the next one due to taking so fucking long before airing the next. The other issues with seasonal releases is the encouragement to binge of all that drama like some kind of drug.

Not a fan of the way the entertainment industry is dealing its drugs. SIGH ... None the less if this steer you have mentioned me is a good taste; I will jack right up and no doubt be left hanging for another fix.

Be sure to let me know of any other fixes your also enjoying. I am please to say despite having a hard time with the massive change is Star Trek Discovery ... I am liking it very much. Nice weekly hits! Although season now finished. It was a good ride though.

I go knock myself out in Cities Skylines now.

Have a good session or doing whatever work.

Later D.

there is not so much sex in it, just the taste of the decadency when you are immortal. It is bloody but I am sci-fiction junkie so I watch mostly everything . Black matter I loved it, there is so many of them
Travelers. Colony; the last one is kind of stupid but hot hot guy is in this Jack from ""Lost"
Salvation, Timeless, Ascension, except for Star track

[Ponder]

Yea - Hopefully most of ZZZZzzzzz drama is in the trailer to lure the sheep in. I will give it three episodes for my filters.

Yea - Like travelers hanging out for the next one. Although I had to watch season one again to make sense of two due to that long break. Colony was too atypical for me. Lost I never like as it seemed you always had to watch the previous to know what was going on - however this was a case where having all the epps line up made it a great watch. Salvation - never heard of it. Timeless? Ascensions? I would have to search. I think they are probably ones I flicked threw but then moved on due to nearly throwing up. Star Trek ... I will always be a fan despite that massive change in tact re new generations to suit more sex and violence. Not quite there yet ... but it's heading that way.

Contact is like an out of the box scifi that I am mostly into. Others these days are really just like bad remakes of the Walking Dead or True Blood. Buffy - ... none of those are really scifi but none the less many of them get listed under the sub category of fantasy. The whole post apocalyptic thing is as overdone as vampires and zombies. Every now and then one impresses me ... slightly. lol I thought Walking Dead was a flop but then started to like it ... then really liked it. Like Game Of Thrones it has slow moments ... but then I think they sack the writer and things start to pic up again.

Thanks for naming those others. I will check out. I understand we don't have all the same tastes. Is like food I guess. I'm enjoying bland atm; with a twist.

By the way I am a sci-fi nut as well. I just don't beleive much of what is listed on Netflix of elsewhere today rate as sci-fi. Today's sci-fi is more like Action and Porn with B grade story. Don't forget the puppy dog and cat puppets as well. Soon they will be humping each other while new factions fight for dominance. ZZZZZzzzzz They might be in space with weird looking monsters and futuristic scenes ... but narrrrrr ... not scifi in my book.

What's the new blade runner like? I go stream it and see how much of a hack and slash + fuck fest that one is. The original is a classic. Hope they did not butcher it. Just saw the Preview. Looks like a decent balance between the boundaries and fairly tactful with the artful impressions: Surprised I waited this long to see it.

[Ponder]

Yea ... they nailed it. Not often that happens with a sequel. Intimacy rather than S-ZZZ-E-ZZZZZzzzzX - Raw Passion rather than Violence. Way better than most of the crap on Netflix of late.

After I took headphones off when movie finished, I heard the neighbours at it again with thier subwoofer. Rang cops as ussual then left to sleep over at my grandson's place. Noise pollution really sucks. More so when it keeps happening. Will be nice to have breakfast with the little guy though Night night Zzzzz

[Ponder]

Decided not to have breakfast and left early while mum and little guy were still sleeping. He has visitation with his Dad today. I did not want to confuse the kid anymore than he already is. I'll do another sleep over and surprise him another time. At least I got somewhere to go now when the neighbours disrespect those living next door to them. I just call cops every time (as I have been) then head on over to my daughters. Sounds like a good plan. Way better than ear buds that don't really work for me.

Anyways after getting out of the car to run laps up at that hockey this dog suddenly interrupts my stretching session buy softly nudging me as if to say "Hello - I'm lost." I tried ignoring him but he just kept following me everywhere I went. Eventually I resigned to the fact he looks a lot like our dog we recently put down. So it was I opened the door of my car and he pretty much jumps like his done it before. My wife has put up some notifications on Facebook. See what happens. We are going on a long drive tomorrow for another hospital visit in Brisbane. Staying at my sons house. Hopefully we can find someone to look after this guy and help return him to his home. He has a bit of age on him, very placid and well mannered.

I was sure it is Max...........so is Blade runner worth my time D? I have it, but could not focus on whole movie, Markets were much better today than last week. I know how you feel I lived in subsided housing and there were never peace and quiet , I never had home invasion or anyone at my door only because my 110 pounts Lab was a first class bitch, no one could touch here except my son and I. She was with me for over 12 years. Her passing broke my heart.
I would worry like you do with the visitation. Maybe it is going to be better than you think. Grannies tend to worry so much .

[Ponder]

Not sure if you will like it D. You might? I know I want to watch the first one again after watching this one. I can say I rate it as classic sci-fi. I don't want to be blamed if you don't like it. I always like a good story that highlights stigma and this one does that well. Has some elements of iRobot in it I guess. The fight scenes are quick and straight to the point. If your into chase scenes then your better off watching gone in sixty seconds. There is one or two quality chases - but that's it. Just the way I like it. The violence ... is like BAM! with a few more thuds, a slash, stab with a twist and bobs your uncle ... on with the story. Basically the story holds all the way through in my opinion. For me - most of the glamour and drama in Netflix over shadows the story. Classic Sci-Fi is mostly about the story. The CGI is not over done ... perfect for my liking.

The sound lvles where a bit out in some scene with overly loud morbid music but I understood where they were going with it ... a kind of space oddity feel at times.

I would not say it was not block buster stuff for me however near enough ... very refreshing compared to most of the garbage coming out these days.

Best I can say is it's defiantly worth trying out. I had to use headphones because I struggle with dialogue these days unless I have eng subtitles which is great for Netflix when watching the odd movies/epps I enjoy.

With headphones on ... it was intriguing & captivating for me.

Try at your own risk. - Do what I did ... relax and use headphones. I'm actually thinking about getting some surround headphones like I used to have. That's another long winded story.

Good New ... The owner came over and picked up their pet. : )

Yea ... I get what you mean about subsidized housing, but then again I never used to keep my door locked. Is not as half as bad as the media or others are led to beleive. Lived in it for well over a decade with a house full of kids. Is part of the stigma ... of course down at that lvl there is going to be a lot of mall adjusted. It makes sense. I guess we did lock up when going away for days on end ... but not when going to the shops. We only got robbed before moving in. After that it was not a problem. You right about the tension and noise though ... is not healthy at all living like that. They try to spread those house about when they can rather than hem then in like prison camps. When you hem them in like animals ... well ... they become like animals. Same with low key rehabilitation institutions ... if you can call them that. AKA prisons. The more you project hate ... the more it breeds. The well to do have their issues with how they project. We are all fucked when it comes to that. I see it every morning in the faces of many regardless of their status. Bitterness is an illness that does not discriminate.



So far things are going well enough for the little fella. I just try to be mindful and not trigger the father whom we don't none of us see other than the little fella. (We use a Contact Centre) ... or I wish that to be the case when mummy sends him off. Only so much you can do when a grandparent. Just be there for the good and bad ... being careful not to project all that fear as although none of us may see the other ... fear has a way of passing through walls and traveling great distances.
